"Crawl Away" as written by Daniel Carey, Adam Jones, Paul D'amour and Maynard James Keenan....
Crawled away from me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothing I could say
Slid away from me
Crept away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin' I could say
What you try to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
Crawled away form me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothin I could say
Slid away from me
Drift away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin I could say
What you tryin to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
This is Love
This is love
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love
Say you wont go
Get you in a strangle hold baby
Can you, can you get away?
What you tryin' to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need
Don't mean a fuck to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothing I could say
Slid away from me
Crept away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin' I could say
What you try to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
Crawled away form me
Slipped away from me
Tried to keep a hold
But there was nothin I could say
Slid away from me
Drift away from me
Tried to keep you down
But there was nothin I could say
What you tryin to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want
And what you need
Don't mean that much to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in
This is Love
This is love
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love for you
This is my love
Say you wont go
Get you in a strangle hold baby
Can you, can you get away?
What you tryin' to say
Is you don't want to play
What you want and what you need
Don't mean a fuck to me
I can see your back is turning
If I could I'd stick the knife in

Crawled away from me,
Slipped away from me,
Tried to keep a hold,
But there was nothing I could say.
Slid away from me,
Crept away from me,
Tried to keep you down,
But there was nothin I could say,
What you try to say,
Is you don't want to play
What you want,
And what you need,
Don't mean that much to me.
I can see your back is turning if I could I'd stick the knife in.
Crawled away form me,
Slipped away from me,
Tried to keep a hold,
But there was nothin I could say,
Slid away from me,
Drift away from me,
Tried to keep you down,
But there was nothin I could say,
What you tryin to say,
Is you don't want to play,
What you want,
And what you need,
Don't mean that much to me.
I can see your back is turning if I could I'd stick the knife in!
This is Love
This is love
This is my love for you X5
This is my LOVE!
Say you wont go..
Get you in a strangle hold baby,
Can you, can you get away?
What you tryin to say,
Is you don't want to play,
What you want and what you need,
Don't mean a FUCK to me!
I can see your back is turning if I could I'd stick the knife in!
I can really relate to this song, to me it's about rejection from the opposite sex, and the confusion and anger this can cause. Right now I'm sick of fucking women general, no offence.
I don't think he is talking to anyone but himself in this song. Try to interpret the songs on this album from yourself talking to yourself. In this song, there is the addict side and the sober side arguing with each other. The sober side is saying he can see the back pins turning, saying the addict is like a wind up toy, and that it doesn't care what the addict side wants or needs because it doesn't mean that much to the sober half. The whole song is about killing your addictive behavior/personality/experince.
